"Tulips and roses," I whispered and sniffed the flowers, they smell so nice. "Can you tell me your name?" He asked me. "You already know my name," I said laughing. HE face palmed himself and shook his head and I finally remembered he was here t make me think the story he told my parents wasn't cringe. "Mei," I said at the same time as another person. I turned to see a familiar face. What was he doing here? "We meet again," Lin Fei said holding out his hand to shake Min Jun. HE brought his hands towards me after shaking MIn Jun but I ignored his hands."Why are you out unsupervised?" Lin asked. "You ignored my question and you expect answers?" I asked him. "I came to buy flowers," he said. "Where is it?" I asked him. "I couldn't find what I wanted," he said and I hummed in disbelief. "I am starting to think you are stalking me and my fiance," I said. "The world doesn't revolve around you," HE said and walked away. I turned to look at Min Jun offended that he didn't say anything. "Re
I grabbed a knife and tried to cut open the watermelon in my hand but Dad's thundering voice stopped me. "Mei," he called out. I waited for a moment before I turned to look at my dad. "Welcome Apa," I said and dropped the watermelon in the sink. "You are ready for dinner?" I asked rhetorically. "What are you doing in here?" He asked me. "I am learning, going to be a wife soon and you are going to cut me off. I and my husband can't afford all the luxuries you offer me so I am learning," I said and wiped my wet hands on my apron. "Go and get changed and come down for dinner," Dad ordered. I tried to argue but he wasn't listening, he kept staring at me with stern eyes so I removed the apron and left. "I wash only washing fruits," I whined as I walked up the stairs to my room. After dinner I went up to my room and avoided my parents, they just had to come home early and spoil my fun. I remained in my room all night and refused to eat breakfast the next day, my parents needed to know th
I stared at the dress in the mirror, it looked flawless but it was too big, I needed to show my driver and decide if I want to get it altered or let it be. "it's a pretty dress," The dressmaker remarked. I smiled and walked out to show him the new dress. "What do you think?" I questioned him. "It's bigger than you are," He cited. "Yes but I could have it altered," I justified. "I think it would be the perfect dress, what are your thoughts?" He asked me. "Those are my exact thoughts too," I said to him and walked back to the dressing room. "I like the dress, can I get it altered?" I asked her. "I would have to ask," She said and left me alone in the dressing room, I changed into the dress I wore and went to the waiting room to meet my driver. "I hope this is the one," I said crossing my fingers, I didn't want to jinx my search. Minutes later the dressmaker returned but with sad news. "I am sorry miss but the designer doesn't want her dress altered," she informed me. "oh, "I said sadl
"Are you ready to go cake testing? I will send you the address, see you in ten minutes," I said to Min Jun. "What?" HE asked sounding surprised. "What do you mean what?" I asked him. "What do you mean you're sending me the address?" He asked me. "Wedding plans, we are testing the cake today," I said pointing out our plans for the day. "And you think telling me today means I am just going to abandon everything I have going on and meet you to taste cake?" he asked me. "What are you doing?" I asked him. "That is not my point?" he defended. "Then what is?" I asked him. "My point is you can't just make appointments and expect me to be there without giving me some info beforehand," He argued. "I told you about the wedding plans and the appointments," I reminded him. "Yes you did but you also said you were going to tell me about these appointments," He said. "Well that is what I am doing," I replied. "You don't get it," He said sighing. "I will send you the address," I said and ended the c
We both pointed to the same design. "This?" I asked him. "Yeah," He replied. "I don't like it," I said. "Wny di you point at it?" He asked me. "Because you were pointing at it and I wanted to state that I don't like it," I said. "You know lying doesn't quite suit you, princess. If we both like the cake design then it should be our wedding cake but if you don't like it then I understand," He said. Was he trying to make me look bad? "Just because you like it," I said. "Are we getting it?" He asked me. "Yes, but only because you like it" I stated. "Thank you, princess," he teased. I rolled my eyes at him and turned to the baker, "this is the cake we want," I said pointing at the 5 layer cake, it was white and it was decorated with rose gold flowers spiraling from the top to the bottom, it was pretty and simple. "Do you have any adjustments?" She asked. "Just one step of the cake can be chocolate flavored and it has to be the smallest piece," I said. "Is that all?" She asked looking at
"Be in me?" I asked. "Yeah like I could be in your car and you could maybe drop me off at my location," He corrected. "Was that a sexual joke?" I asked him. "No, it wasn't," He stressed. "You're lying," I said. "Well you didn't get it when I said so and no it wasn't a sexual joke, I just spent a lot of money getting here so I need you to drop me at the train station and I can go home," He said to me. I stared at him still thinking about his comments but there was no need to think about, why was I thinking about it, he said it was not a sexual joke so I didn't have to think it was. "What train station?" I asked him. "Anyone we find," He said. "Wait! Why do I have to offer you a ride, weren't you about to walk off?" I asked him. "That was in the past, let's go find your driver," He said and put his hand over my shoulder, and led me to my car. He opened the door and I got in, he got in after me and closed the door. "Where are we headed?" My driver asked. "Where are you headed?" I asked
"Apa," I called out. "No," he replied. "You can't possibly expect me to be home all day," I whined. "Then you can come to the law firm with your mom and me," he suggested. "You haven't let me come to the firm since I graduated," I told him. "You have visited the firm multiple times and I know you can remember," HE said. "I have plans, I can't go to the firm and I can't be at home," I explained to Dad. "You will have to cancel those plans, your only options are to come to the firm or stay at home," he said. "Why?" I asked him. "I will not be stating my reasons to you," He said. "Fine, I will come to the firm" I agreed. "We can't wait for you, get dressed and your driver will bring you to the firm," he said. I nodded and went back to my room. 'You need a little imperfection in your activities, nothing can be perfect, he's just that obstacle, your wedding is going to be perfect, you are going to get everything done and they are going to attend your wedding and they will finally reali
"Don't you want a very expensive piece you could sell off of when the contract is over?" I asked him. "You aren't very convincing," he said. "Just go in, will you?" I pleaded and pushed him past the racks of clothes. I turned to a chair and sat on it. "Mei," I heard my name and froze, that was Dad, 'I needed to get out of here'. "Mei," Dad yelled. "Mei," He called out again. "Appa, I said and stood up. I walked towards the entrance and let Dad follow me out of the building. "Appa," I said. "Mei Xing, why are you here?" he asked me. "What do you mean? I can go anywhere I want to," I said. "This is a men's store and I asked you to be at the firm not here," He said. "I was left alone with nothing to do, I thought that was you telling me that I was no longer needed," I said. "Now I am here to take you back to the firm," He said. "Am I needed?" I asked. "You'll find out when we get to the firm," He said ad pulled my hand. "Wait," I protested and he let me go. "What?" He asked. "How did
